12oz bottle from Total Wine & More, St Petersburg, FL. Light to mid-gold, hazy with a large & slightly loose white head. Strawberry, tropical fruit juice, banana & bubblegum aroma. Sweet and fruity with a juicy bite mid-sip. Big metallic notes in the finish. It’s not bad, but not incredible either.

Bubblegum, orange, biscuit malt, and orange peel aroma. Hazy golden yellow with nice off-white head. Very sweet tropical fruit, biscuit malt, and moderately bitter orange peel flavor. Good body. Decent.

12 ounce bottle from Woodman's Appleton, 12/5/22. Hazy yellow, medium off-white head, average retention. Aroma of banana and bubblegum. Taste is banana, tropical fruit, bubblegum. Pretty close to the name brand gum. Interesting.

Cheap can of IPA at the local wings place. Crisp & clean, surprisingly fresh hop perfume nose on the olfactory. First taste is no hint of the strength of this 7% brew. Yes, it certainly has the taste of juicy fruit gum, but I must say, Juicy Fruit is not bubble gum, it's stupid regular chewing gum. I bet Abita was warned against using Wrigley's Juicy Fruit name but that is exactly what it tastes like. Yes, there really is no bubble gum here, you know, like a good hefe; it's simply a hop effect that tastes like juicy fruit gum, LoL. Cease and desist. Not really sure if it qualifies as an IPA either, it's more like a fruity APA at that. Not very attractive in its motive. I don't like IPA, but this is not IPA - it's some kind of flavored ale concoction, not sure what it is, but it sure is unique in its flavor and its not IPA. There, you have it.

I mean, it does kinda taste like Juicy Fruit, with bubblegum and banana dominating the palate while subtle notes of citrus and mango linger. Finishes like gum and mineral water. I’d be surprised if no artificial/“natural” flavoring was used in addition to the hops and malt. Not good, but accurately named.

Banana nose. Banana flavor. Medium bodied. Easy carbonation. Taste is like banana extract flavoring.

Varnish, bubblegum nose, volatile. Hazy amber, thin head. Bubblegum.. Medium body, easy carbonation. I would be shocked if there weren't artificial flavorings in this, but it really isn't bad.

On tap pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is bazooka bubble gun and that's all. Taste is more of the big bubble gum notes i can't get past that.
